Riding Mountain National Park

Back to the blogs about our Canada trip:

It was a rainy, cloudy day when we entered Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba. Beautiful aspen forests surrounded us as we drove into the park. There were two bison enclosures and we were able to drive quite close.

I don't know why, but I always enjoy getting to see bison - they're big, strong, and a historic symbol of the open prairie.

The wildflowers were beautiful.

From the daisies to the pink clover - there were flowers everywhere.

These reminded me of domestic day lilies, but they were small:

This young bear poked his head out of the forest to check us out. A little later we got to watch him grub for worms deep in the forest.

We were treated with a rainbow at the end of the day! What more can one ask!

About Me

I love being outdoors. The beauty of God's creation really feeds my spirit. I work at capturing that beauty and inspiration with my photography. I write Christian Women's Bible studies that use lessons from nature to bring us into a closer relationship with God.
After blogging for almost two years, it is obvious to me that this is going to be an ecclectic blog representing many of my interests. For my photographer friends, there are blogs with information from photo conferences I attend. For my Christian friends, there are be personal stories and hopefully some inspirational ideas. Occasionally there will be some posts about birdwatching and nature observations. When I get new insights to the life events that occur, I plan to keep posting in hopes that someone else will benefit from my experiences.
Like the Texas weather, if you don't like my blog topic for today, stick around, the next one will be entirely different!
